CODE VEIN II

CODE VEIN II is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Mild Language, Partial Nudity, Suggestive Themes, and Violence. Also includes In-Game Purchases. This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a time-traveling warrior on a mission to save a post-apocalyptic world. Players explore the world, interact with characters, and engage in melee-style combat against fantastical enemies (e.g., zombies, robots, mutant creatures). Players use swords, spears, axes, and guns to attack enemies in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by impact sounds, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Cutscenes depict additional instances of violence and/or gore: characters and creatures impaled, with blood-splatter effects; a boss creature beheaded; a monster holding its own severed head. The game contains some suggestive material: female characters designed with exaggerated-sized breasts and revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage); bath sequences depicting characters' breasts and buttocks barely covered by water; dialogue such as “So you're not here to sleep with me…One way or another, I survived. Now I work as a prostitute."). Dialogue briefly references drugs (e.g., “They're too steeped in narcotics to string together much of a conversation”). The words “a*s,” “bastard,” and “b*tch” appear in the game.
